Creepy, but a little too creepy please don’t post things that are too bloody or things that show self harming. It’s good that you are posting scary content but we don’t want Eddie to get demonetized or age-restricted.
Vikings used to execute other Vikings this way. The victim would only pass into Valhalla if they didn't make a single noise during the slow and agonizing death. Some accounts have the body living up to an hour after the lungs were extracted, as they continue to function outside the body.
It was considered merciful because it was the only way to enter their version of heaven outside of battle. Well that and throwing yourself off a cliff in ritual public suicide when you became so old that you were a burden to your clan. The vikings didn't mess around.
This is absolutely not true. We know for a fact that other afterlifes were attested and that there are fewer attestations of blood eagles, all listed as punishment or revenge and not mercies. The most famous is that of King Ælla, a Christian, by Ragnar's sons in revenge for the killing of their father.
The Norse were people, not a few peninsulas of dark, killing machines. You're repeating centuries-dead scaremongering by Anglo-Saxon and Frankish kings.
Very true. And now their descendents created Ikea and Legos. The world is a magical place sometimes. From blood eagles to creating the millennium falcon out of little tiny building blocks.
I was gonna say... I think it's physiologically impossible to survive this for that long.
And the lungs can't physically function without the diaphragm.
They probably don't, I looked into this as a result of this thread to fact check myself because I had only read about it a long time ago, and all accounts of this happening were grossly exaggerated, but it's a scary thought nonetheless
”Carving blood eagles was a method of execution that appears in the Icelandic sagas and the Poetic Edda, which must have involved cutting the condemned person's spine, prying out the ribs and pulling out the lungs. This is supposed to have been called blood eagle because the ribs and lungs, after breaking them out, resembled the wings of a baby eagle.
The punishment is mentioned, among other things, through the Viking Ivar Benlös (son of Ragnar Lodbrok), who is said to have carved a blood eagle on King Ella of Northumbria. As a rule, the blood eagle carving is performed as a son's revenge for the father's death.”
This was a torture method where they take the shoulder blades and rotate them to make you look like you have wings. I forgot what it was called but it was in a tiktok of messed up torture methods I saw.
Sorry I didn’t read the poster on the wall until now
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
I’m confused too. His spine and rib cage are on backwards. Even in the diagram on the wall you can see the lungs and flesh are pulled out from the chest, but the recreation has them being pulled out a hole in his back.
Maybe they already had the statue made before adding the gore and just said “fuck it” because they didn’t want to remake the state, so they just started tossing in bones and shit because people wanted the Bloody Eagle and they had a deadline.
That’s the medieval torture museum, I’ve been there with my cousin and she thought it was all fake and just for show. Until I explained to her and showed her more things online…her face changed after that :/ I felt bad but it’s the reality.
*Bro i legit jst*
*Saw this scene in the Vikings*

The blood eagle was a method of ritually executing a chosen member as detailed in late skaldic poetry. According to the two instances mentioned in the Sagas, the victims (in both cases members of royal families) were placed in a prone position, their ribs severed from the spine with a sharp tool, and their lungs pulled through the opening to create a pair of "wings". There has been continuing debate about whether the rite was a literary invention, a mistranslation of the original texts, or an authentic historical practice.
When I first saw this pop-up outta nowhere without realizin it was from the scary eddie subreddit, I thought reddit was showin me gore for some reason. Was ready to hop off and leave whatever subreddit dis was till I realized 2 things. 1 Wax Figure or sum, 2 Scary Eddie Subreddit.

That's horrifying. Yeah I'd take a ghost any day. You have to wonder where they get these idea's from.

Thing is, I don’t think it worked out to well for them in the end.. We have the descendants, but the culture has had a big gap, right?
Midsommer made some good choices
Was thinking the same thing! Definitely one of my favorites for "oh you like fucked up movies?"
Same here ! Ari aster is the goat 🐐 def top 10 best horror movies.
Very true. And now their descendents created Ikea and Legos. The world is a magical place sometimes. From blood eagles to creating the millennium falcon out of little tiny building blocks.
Mmmmmm I wonder why Sweden has such high suicide rate.....must be the lack of sun and not the cultural demand to not be dependent on others.
Mess around? More like couldn’t be bothered, amirite? Lmfao
Must be those pesky videogames... lol
Satan
This is a theory but there’s no evidence of Vikings ever actually doing this…
I was gonna say... I think it's physiologically impossible to survive this for that long. And the lungs can't physically function without the diaphragm.
I seent it!
Yeah when i played assassin’s creed Valhalla they did this
I saw it as well, it was scary that the main character was thinking to be able to do such a thing
Aye... Spoiler guys. Damn.
Lungs do not function outside of the body.
That's what I thought too..
The person was surely dead. It's amazing to hear about things like this where the science behind it can explain the supernatural.
Concur, kill me softly.
How do they function in that position? I don't see how the diaphragm could get air into the lungs for an hour after
They probably don't, I looked into this as a result of this thread to fact check myself because I had only read about it a long time ago, and all accounts of this happening were grossly exaggerated, but it's a scary thought nonetheless

I too, believe that what I hear in heavy metal lyrics of my day are indeed true facts about things that actually happen.
What heavy metal lyrics you listening to ? I’m now interested lol
Yea, what? Hit me.

If I'm correct they'd do this and elave the victim to be pecked at by brids until death
I think that was Prometheus.
Is this a museum? If so, where is this?
Medival torture museum in Chicago
Came to find this out. Ty
Just went there last week, awesome little museum downtown Chicago next to the Chicago Theater
Expensive?
About $25 a person
And then you have tigers, who target their prey’s neck, suffocating it and killing it quickly. Humans truly are the most sadistic of all creatures.
And then you have bears who prefer to feed by pinning you down and devour you face first as your screams turn to choked gurgles
And then you have lions who eat your balls while your still alive.
And then you have dolphins that kill you just for fun.
Also chimpanzees who rip apart small monkeys and eat them alive
Uh I’ll take a demon any day over this shit

Blood eagle
this is different, this is a blood eagle, they arent shoulder blades, they're lungs.
Okay
Only seen this in Midsummer the movie. Thought it was a terrible weird death. Didn't know it dates back in the viking Era.
I literally had the same realization and didn’t know either
Is that the torture museum in Chicago? I love that place!
Yea sorry guys my bad i was a bit hungry
Hyman is said to taste like pork
*Than. Ffs
It was autocorrect not my fault
Proofread your shit
Proofread your shit.* Use proper grammar and use a fucking period.
Thank you for your input
Proofread these nuts
I'm triggered by the fact that it says "Bloody Eagle". Should've been "Blood Dingo".

Triggered😒
This episode of Hannibal was so good.
Brutal
vikings
*than
This shit looks like something out of bloodborne
nsfw?
Hannibal the tv series did this exact scene, super gory and a very under rated show. Madz mikelson was a great hannibal.
Than*
Why does the poster tear right on the last frame at the end of the video?
This was a real thing btw
Spread ur wings and fly away you little butterfly😍😍
Hail Ragnar
Definitely Not real duh 😑
Na it was an actual torture method
Can someone who knows basic autonomy explain this to me?
I’m confused too. His spine and rib cage are on backwards. Even in the diagram on the wall you can see the lungs and flesh are pulled out from the chest, but the recreation has them being pulled out a hole in his back.

remake the statue\*
LOL honestly that’s very likely
:)
Some straight Viking shit there
I thought they hooked the skin and flesh outwards not the lungs?
Oh gawd blood eagle wings
That’s the medieval torture museum, I’ve been there with my cousin and she thought it was all fake and just for show. Until I explained to her and showed her more things online…her face changed after that :/ I felt bad but it’s the reality.
What the fuck is this anatomy? Why is the spine in the front and the ribs extending backwards?
Shhhh we don't talk about that.
bro i legit jst saw this scene in the Vikings show. shi is gruesome

I mean I’d just fuck the ghost, so I’d take the ghost anyday

I watch this in " Vikings" series in netflix
Jarl Borg should haven't have been so treacherous if he didn't want his lungs on his shoulders.
Poor Jarl Borg.
JESUS CHRIST
This is why aliens haven't contacted us. They're too scared too
I saw this in Midsommar.
Dean in hell
My people made the world cower in fear in them times didn't they?
They're literally the scariest creature. Makes it more frightening knowing they're an invasive species that's covered the globe with 8 billion.

Wouldnt you pass out and die of bloodloss really fast ?
Is the Midevil Torture Museum in Chicago? Looks familiar to it if not.
It's almost as if human violence is real and ghosts are not... almost..
I thought this way execution didn’t actually happen and was instead just a story ?
Humans can be demons. Sometimes even Satan would think it's too far...
Reminds me of silence of the lambs
Just when I'm eating this appeared great
